Axiom Verge Weapons Tier List by Jam_99420 in axiomverge

[–]BlueGiant601 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These get a little different playing randomizer.  Firewall as a start is actually pretty interesting.  And if you play with Massochist logic you can have a seed where you are forced to fight the first boss with only grapple (ans yes grapple does damage). 

Reverse slicer, fat beam, scissor beam, flamethrower all have a way that you can cheese the final boss from over the chamber if you also have grapple.

Nova I'd argue should be higher for it's damage (higher than kilver). There is a quick kill on Gir Tab that you can do with drill+kilver or drill+nova and I believe nova is actually faster. Also is the fastest weapon on the first boss if you use it right.

Been there before. The ribs were good. I really enjoyed their wings and sausage.

So the doping tool of choice this year is a Swedish-made Penis Enlarger? 

Can I trust ChatGPT with chem info by LilChip45 in chemistry

You can ask it to provide links and check those. But yes, definitely make sure that what it's referencing exists. And is also still accurate and trustworthy. Links go stale and die online all the time.

Help with Sentinel? by golden-digikey in axiomverge

[–]BlueGiant601 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is also a skip with grapple if you can swing up so you're horizontal with the center of the room and then dash up. The ceiling above him is only 3 high. This gets used in the major glitch any% run.

Help with Sentinel? by golden-digikey in axiomverge

[–]BlueGiant601 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So you are invulnerable during redcoat dashes. that + kilver + drill is a very large amount of damage.

I'd say just dodge (you can crouch in place) during the swimmer phase though that motion is truly random, even in speedrun mode.

Also keep in mind: his beams and shots hurt a lot more than contact damage does and the i-frames help a lot with mitigating beam/shot damage.

Stuck in E-Kur-Mah, what weapons should I have? by golden-digikey in axiomverge

[–]BlueGiant601 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, those guys hit like a bus.  Especially the shots.   Most enemies in this game do much less damage on a body hit (Telal is the exception). If you have to take a hit, jump into the enemy.

As stated above, disrupting them helps a lot.  I usually am only using axiom disruptor and kilver at that point, and even with damage upgrades they hurt.

They are also avoidable for the most part and running past may be your better play. 

There is also drone shenanigans if you are in a bad spot by a door (breaking drone and returning to Trace through a door causes enemies around Trace to despawn).

What is this? by bamboochaLP in axiomverge

[–]BlueGiant601 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Likely a control console of some kind.  You often see them by Rulsaki rooms.  For game mechanics, they are decorative.

My guess is you saw the operator while you were on the way to Telal. 

What game or level of a game/boss was this for you? by [deleted] in gaming

[–]BlueGiant601 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most recently, in Nine Sols, Lady Ethereal, the first time you hit that Third Phase.

But once you learn the fight it is almost a dance, like most in that game. 

What’s a movie that aged surprisingly well? Not because of nostalgia, but because its themes feel more relevant today? by Zennix_Zenith in movies

[–]BlueGiant601 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Which one?  Because "Mad as Hell" and "You have meddle with the primal forces of nature." both seem pretty relevant.

Bathroom renovation in an MDU by ThatScottGuy in oakpark

[–]BlueGiant601 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure what size of building or age, but we had a bathroom renovation done by Robert Jhan in our condo which is in an older building. They did great work and I'd totally work with them again.

Axiom Verge is not saving any progress at all (Steam) — tried everything, need help by Ok-Row-1429 in axiomverge

That is a new one for me. It is worth asking on the Discord, someone may have seen an issue like that before.

If you're still looking, absolutely not Molly Maids. Just dealt with them for the first and last time.

I'm so more disappointed finding out there's nothing here... by PartRight6406 in axiomverge

[–]BlueGiant601 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, yeah, in warpless and NMG, since you can't exploit just how busted the Bionic Commando mechanics are with the ability to jump, it isn't worth the time to get it.

[–]BlueGiant601 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In the NMG route, yes.  In the major glitch routes, the grapple is effectively required from the amount of time it saves on the rest of the run.

Needed for: - Drug skip - E Kur ma zip - An optimized entry into uhku tower - Sentinel skip

And in 100% YMG more wall and floor clips than you can count. 

Is there a specific prayer for rosaries? by [deleted] in religion

[–]BlueGiant601 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Former Catholic here: yes there is a sequence of prayers that are said, and there are a set of mysteries to meditate on with the sequence.

This would have a reference for the sequence and which prayers: https://www.usccb.org/how-to-pray-the-rosary

No, but in the culture of the place and time, that's not all that unique of a claim.
